This all new edition is based on Frederic G. Reamer's key
reference for practitioners: "Social Work Malpractice and
Liability: Strategies for Prevention." Rooted in his own
experiences as an expert witness in court and licensing board
cases, the volume introduces the concepts of negligence,
malpractice, and liability before turning to the subject of risk
management. Drawing and reflecting on recent cases and research,
Reamer details a variety of problems in the social work field
relating to privacy and confidentiality, improper treatment and
delivery of services, impaired practitioners, supervision,
consultation and referral, fraud and deception, and termination of
service. He also explores the unprecedented confidentiality
challenges created by new digital technologies, such as online
counseling, video counseling, and practitioners' use of social
networks, and describes current issues relating to HIPAA compliance
and access to electronic health records (EHR) and health
information exchanges (HIE). Reamer concludes with practical
suggestions for social workers named as defendants in lawsuits and
respondents in licensing board complaints.
